Full Stack: Angular and Spring Boot

In this we are creating a full-stack application where we expose an endpoint using Spring Boot and consume this endpoint using Angular 7 application and display the data.

What is a full-stack application?
In the full-stack application we expose the back endpoint to get the data. This data can then be used by any application or device as per the need. In the future even if another front end device is to be used, there will not be much change and the new device will need to consume these endpoints.

In Spring Boot, the most significant change in 2.0 is its new web framework: Spring WebFlux. In Angular 5.0, we get a new HttpClient on the table. This class replaces Http, and is a bit easier to use, with less boilerplate code. Today, I’m not going to explore Spring WebFlux, because we still have some work to do before we can support in with the Okta Spring Boot Starter you can enroll for a live spring boot online course by OnlineITGuru with 24/7 support and lifetime access.

Let’s Understand Why We Need Data Science

The good news is our Angular SDK works well with Angular 5, so I’ll be showing how to use it in this blog post. Speaking of Angular, did you know that Angular has one of the most dramatic increases in questions on Stack Overflow? You might think this means a lot of people have issues with Angular. I like to think that there’s a lot of people using it, and developers often have questions when using new technology. It’s a definite sign of a healthy community. You rarely see a lot of questions on Stack Overflow for a dying technology.

This article describes how to build a simple CRUD application that displays a list of cool cars. It’ll allow you to edit the list, and it’ll show an animated gif from GIPHY that matches the car’s name. You’ll also learn how to secure your application using Okta’s Spring Boot starter and Angular SDK.

Spring Boot Application

We will be creating a simple Spring Boot Application to expose a REST endpoint to return a list of employees. we had seen how to fetch the data using Spring Boot JDBC. However, for this tutorial, we will be mocking the list of employees to be returned. Maven Project will be as follows:

Next, we will create a new Angular project using the Angular CLI as follows:

ng new employee-management
